In order to transform the fossil fuel dependent transport sector the promotion of biofuels has been crucial in the European Union’s transition towards climate neutrality. To ensure the sustainability of biofuels the European Commission published a Delegated Act on March 13th 2019, proposing the gradual phase-out of high emitting biofuels that may cause indirect land use change (ILUC) – one of them
The Light Dark Matter Experiment (LDMX) is a fixed target experiment that will search for dark matter, but is still in the development phase. An important aspect for the experiment is the discrimination of signal and background events. Here this signal and background discrimination is inspected using a machine learning technique called a Boosted Decision Tree (BDT). This is done using Monte Carlo
Idag har de ensamkommande blivit en enskild grupp i asyldebatten. Samtidigt som antalet asylsökande ökade enormt under de senaste åren har debatten om ensamkommande blivit mycket aktuell i medier och regeringen. Den här uppsatsens syfte är att analysera interpellationsdebatten om den nya gymnasielagen ur ett rättssäkerhetsperspektiv och se hur debattörerna ritar upp en bild om ensamkommande barn.

The foreign exchange (FX) market is today the world’s broadest, most active, financial market. One of many technical analysis techniques amongst professional FX traders, trying to narrow down the best entry and exit points in this market, is to utilize pivot points. The ability of this technique has, as far as we know, never been rigorously evaluated. In collaboration with the Malmö-based hedge fu
The emerging green bond market is a novel research area with only a few studies being published in recent years. The increase in interest from issuers, investors, and academia shows the clear need for further investigation of the pricing dynamics affecting the green bond market. This study finds its theoretical foundation in the capital asset pricing model (CAPM), aiming to establish whether inves
Due to changes in land use, as well as impacts from the climate change, our inland waters are now exposed to problems such as eutrophication and brownification. This complicates management to develop clean drinking water, as well as it leads to anoxic bottoms and reduces primary production. This literature review aims to see if wetlands can work as a natural filter to reduce both nutrients (nitrog
This thesis set out to continue the development of a short-wave infrared (SWIR) optical parametric amplifier (OPA). The system is based on a Yb-ber chirped pulse amplification (CPA) laser delivering 400 fs long pulses, centered around 1030 nm, at 200 kHz repetition rate and 40 W average power. The thesis focuses on pulse characterization, through use of frequency-resolved optical gating (FROG), of
Uppsatsen undersöker hur små aktiebolags intressentrelationer kan påverkas av avskaffandet av revisionsplikten.
Vulnerability to climate change and the capacity to adapt to it are the result of intersecting power structures, system dynamics, and social identity markers otherwise known as intersectionality; and thus, differ greatly between contexts. However, despite the stark contextual differences between small and metropolitan cities, and lower and higher income countries, the policy and study of climate c
This paper analyses how China’s growing taste for beef due to rising incomes, urbanization and preference for higher quality meat shaping Kazakhstan’s inefficient beef industry, and how Kazakhstan’s government is attempting to make it more efficient. The analysis done through qualitative methods by looking into the data from primary and secondary sources.
Cerebral Palsy (CP) has an impact on muscles and movement. This happens due to brain damage before the age of two years. Either sometimes before birth, during childbirth or after birth. According to hjarnfonden.se, 200 children are added annually in Sweden with CP. People living with CP have these weaknesses for the rest of their lives. CP is not progressive disorder, that means brain damage can’
Sedan år 1965 finns i svensk lag inte längre någon särbehandling vad gäller straffansvar för gärningspersoner som agerat vid eller lider av atypiska sinnestillstånd. Lagstiftningen är istället utformad på det sättet att en särbehandling sker vid påföljdsvalet där det föreligger en presumtion för annan påföljd än fängelse. Utgångspunkten är således att gärningspersonen trots sinnestillståndet ska hSince 1965, there is no longer any special treatment in Swedish law regarding criminal responsibility for perpetrators with an atypical mental state. The legislation is shaped in such a way that a special treatment takes place through the choice of sanction where there is a presumption against imprisonment. The starting point is thus that the perpetrator, despite the mental state, must be held cri
Galectins are family of cytosolic proteins that function as both positive and negative modulators of various cell processes. Galectin-3 has an altered expression pattern in pathophysiological processes, such as cancer or chronic inflammation, which makes it an interesting target for pharmaceutical research. The treatment of galectin-3 ill-regulation was shown effective in serious conditions like i
Skyddet mot angrepp på företagshemligheter regleras i lagen om företagshemligheter. I samband med att den nya lagen trädde i kraft 2018 infördes en möjlighet att hindra angrepp på företagshemligheter i förväg. Det innebär en skärpning av lagen eftersom det tidigare endast varit möjligt att hindra fullbordade angrepp från att fortsätta. Syftet med uppsatsen är att utreda den tidigaste punkten för vThe Swedish Act on trade secret protects against trade secret attacks, such as unlawful acquisition, use and disclosure of trade secrets. Since the new law entered into force 2018, the protection against trade secrets has been extended to include situations where the unlawful acquisition, use or disclosure of the trade secret is not yet carried out. The purpose of this thesis is to identify the ea
Digitalisering av ekonomin och nya digitala affärsmodeller har skapat utmaningar för det internationella skattesystemet. Organisationen för ekonomiskt samarbete och utveckling, OECD, har under de senaste åren arbetat med att ta fram förslag som kan hantera problematiken. Beskattningen av ett företag sker baserat på i vilken stat som företaget har hemvist. Enligt den nuvarande regleringen av fast dThe digitalisation of the economy has resulted in new business models that pose substantial tax challenges for the international tax system. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, OECD, has published various reports and proposals on how to address these challenges. Under the current system enterprises are taxed based on residency. However, another state may tax an enterprise i
Flera studier har gjorts om hur cognitive load theory kan vara användbar för att urskilja lögner, där forskare ofta har använt externa distraktioner för att öka den kognitiva belastningen för att se effekterna på deltagares förmåga att framgångsrikt fabricera en berättelse. För att vidareutveckla den tidigare forskningen har denna studie ämnat att fortsätta utforska hur metoder som utgår från prinSeveral studies have been made about how cognitive load theory might be useful to discern lies, in which researchers have used external distractions to increase the cognitive load to observe how this impacts participants’ ability to successfully fabricate a story. To further the previous research, this study aimed to study the difference between telling the truth and telling a lie may be related t
In a GIS system, the need to encode geospatial data without standardized cartographic representations, such as population data, weather information, etc., on top of a map is common. This can be done with a layer on top of a base map, with the effect that the base map is partially or fully hidden. Reducing the opacity (or its equivalent - increasing the transparency) of this overlay data layer is a
Ledarskap i en föränderlig värld medför stora utmaningar för företag, organisationer och inte minst ledare. Studier visar hur ledare och medarbetare upplever obalans mellan yrkesliv och privatliv vilket påverkar arbetsglädje, arbetsmotivation och individers hälsa. Att känna att man har work life balance är en viktig aspekt då arbetet för många tenderar att ta överhand och privatlivet kommer i kläm
The purpose of this thesis is to systematically map the factors and tasks linked to drowning accidents and the rescue services response to drowning accidents that has the most influence on the outcome. To achieve this purpose, two methods have been used, a literature study and an interview study. The literature study aimed to map the current research on drowning and drowning response and to identi
